And..... Just off successful runs at StreetSwing
StreetSwing, an all new dance show created for the theater. StreetSwing features many of the performers from Robert Royston’s hit co-creation, Swango. Robert Royston’s dance career includes 4 US OPEN dance titles, performing in the Broadway Musical "Swing!," an appearance in the movie, "Dance with Me," performing at the Tony Awards, his Queens Theatre record-breaking hit, SWANGO, in 2005, and appearing with his wife Nicola as featured performers in last season’s mega-hit, Broadway Song and Dance. Talented. Versatile. Creative. Inspiring. Insatiable! Robert Royston Biography After stepping off the competitive floor for a few years, Robert got back on the floor with his Wife Nicola and became the 2006 USA Grand National Cabaret Champion and the 2006 US National Champion, as well as winning many NASDE Showcase Swing Titles with Nicola. In 2007 he became the youngest person to be inducted to the UCWDC Hall of Fame. His exciting, high energy and original work next led to his choreographing and performing in music videos, which got the attention of the producers of the Broadway show, Swing! He spent a year and a half appearing in Swing!, performing his own choreography, and later became the assistant choreographer for the first National Tour of the production. Royston’s work has been featured in the production of Gypsy of the Year at New York’s Palace Theatre (a part of Broadway Cares/EFA), as well as Destination Groove, a Choreographer’s Showcase. His choreography was featured in the New York workshop production of Urban Cowboy, a production in which he also performed. In 2002 Royston became a producer and creator of the critically acclaimed show "SWANGO: The Musical". (He also co-choreographed the play and starred as the lead dancer). The show ran in New York as a cabaret, and then on to a full show with performances in NYC. Three-time Tony Award winner Rupert Holmes has joined the creative team to write the script for the productions. Other Stage Shows include Neil Bergs “100 years of Broadway”, “Uncle Tom’s Cabin”, “Cheer, The Musical” (workshop), “Fashion the Musical” and the RDC production of “StreetSwing”
But of all that he has done, his proudest achievement is his son Robert Jr. and the wonderful marriage he has with wife Nicola. |
